We stayed here midweek for a trip to Winchester to meet up with family. The staff were wonderful, gave a good welcome and explained everything in our room. We stayed in Zoffany, a large room overlooking the Cathedral green. Beautiful furniture, spotlessly clean with thoughtful touches and an Nespresso machine, a real home from home. We had drinks in the... More

The Old Vine is a pub/restaurant/hotel in right opposite the cathedral. It's only downside is the on street parking although resident's permits are available for each room. Rooms are particularly large and filled with antique furniture. I would stay here again anytime. More

Rarely has a short break worked out so well. This lovely old hotel, set next to the 7th Century cathedral and beside high street shopping, gave us an old-fashioned welcome, a first class dinner and breakfast, and a comfortable room with well thought out touches - in fact I have rarely been in a room so well fitted out. Fresh... More

The management at The Old Vine obviously care about their guests and it shows. The location is perfect being directly across from the cathedral. The pub is very oldy worldy and has a nice feel to it. We had two rooms, the Nina campbell for the children and the Osbourne and Little for ourselves. Our room was superb, spotless, spacious... More

This was our third time staying at this lovely hotel and it is our firm favourite in Winchester. Our room was on the top floor and had a lovely sitting room and separate bedroom area. Breakfast served in our room was excellent and lunch in the restaurant was first class. The hotel is in a perfect position for the shops... More

With a birthday celebration as an excuse to eat out, we were amazed at the transformation of this very old establishment, completely revamped and with impressive style. Having been a resident of Winchester and keen on fine food, we tried The Old Vine and were breath-taken at it's splendour. With it's amazing location so very close to the World famous... More

Our party was a birthday lunch for six ladies, we were spoilt for choice, in the end we shared three starters, as we had seen the size of the helpings , this was a good decision , the main courses were equally fabulous , Three shared desserts and two bottles of...

This has to be one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in! I dont normally spend £100 a night in a hotel (the cheaoest room on a Sunday) but this is definately worth the extra few pounds! The place is literally right next to the cathedral and we had lunch before we checked in. The bar was packed and we... More

Not only is it superbly located, right besides the wonderful cathedral and close to the history circuit, The Old Vine is one the rare gems I have found while travelling over the years. What a pleasant surprise! The rooms are beautifully decorated without any sacrifice to the comfort. The showerhead was powerful and everything was perfectly clean. In the days... More
